ID PLEASE GUY'S....Work your magic?

[south coast nelly]

we were thinking red devil/midas but face is abit odd

 

[cichlasomaphobe]

I've had female midas cichlids look just like that in color and shape. Top fin sure has a nice point for a girl tho

 

[south coast nelly]

this is the other one that was with it, there not mine, another forum friends

 

[Citrinellus]

Tough call, its definitely a Amphilophus though.

 

[hairdog]

the second looks like a texas red devil/midas cross that failed

 

[south coast nelly]

thank you guys.....maybe a cross of two then, these look similar facual wise
Amphilophus altifrons

 

[Modest_Man]

Second one is definitely some hybrid junk, so I'd assume the first is as well.

 

[straitjacketstar]

Looks like some low-grade red texas (RD/Midas x Cyano/Carpintis or BP x Cyano/Carpintis).

Both are Amphilophus. While I couldn't say 100% the first appears to be A. Labiatus. The second A. Citrinellum. Most of the fish sold as "Red Devils" on the market today could be one or the other...or more often than not...a combination of both...which could be the case with the fish pictured above. Sometimes the fish will exhibit one or more traits based on the dominant "mix" of genes...the Labiatius with the lips...the Citrinellum with the head shape. The black spots and blotching s common to most young "Red Devils" and will eventually either change entirely to their permanent color orr retain some of the spotting.
